Dryburgh Abbey Stately Home in Dryburgh, Scottish Borders, Scotland

Remarkably complete medieval ruins by the River Tweed

Dryburgh sits by the Tweed River. Its remarkably complete medieval ruins makes it easy to appreciate the attractions of monastic life. The abbey buildings were destroyed by fire three times and ravaged by war on four occasions but fine examples of ecclesiastic architecture and masonry remain, and its chapter house reveals plaster and paintwork dating back to its inception.

The abbey is maintained by Historic Scotland. For more Historic Scotland Properties please visit their website.
